The Yankees are in the midst of a brutal 33-games-in-32-days stretch including their just-completed final West-coast-swing of 2011. They've lost 5 of their last 8 games, including three one-run losses in extra innings (one of them at 2:00 am) and a fourth one-run loss on a bottom of the 9th sac...

Jon Lester and rookie Luis Perez are the pitchers for this evening's maple-flavored entertainment. I like pitching duels such as last night as much as the next purist but sometimes you want a steak. And at least have the decency to finish it in nine. Line-ups follow, comment away. Boston J....

DISCLAIMER: Yes, I know that the below issue is not one of the biggest problems for the 2011 Yankees. Their top 3 problems are: 1. starting pitching; 2. starting pitching; and 3. starting pitching. But it annoys me no less. So thank you for allowing me to take this space to vent. And feel fre...

That's most of what the trio of Josh, Phil and AJ have in common. Beckett is having one of the best seasons of his career. Hughes is... well, he's.. um... let's just say he's glad Burnett makes so much money that he takes the brunt of the wrath directed towards the Yankees starters. Outside o...

DAMNIT!!!! DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN
SHIT
Damn it to hell.
I just saw the score and saw that an A. Burnett was pitching for the Twins. I thought the Yankees had got rid of AJ in the middle of the game and the Twins picked him up. Got my damn hopes up.
Oh...and this score sucks.

Two east coast juggernauts separated by mere percentage points battle two teams from the heartland. Andrew Miller takes on Jeff Francis in KC while Phil Hughes faces Kevin Slowey in Minny. I'm a bit jammed up so the gamers are getting jammed together as well. Have a great weekend and comment away.

I got hooked on The Replacements while reading Our Band Could Be Your Life. That book redeemed the 80's for me.
Yanks win! Nice recovery for Sabathia tonight after an absolutely shitty start to the game.

C.C. Sabathia looks to bounce back from giving up five home runs in one game. Don't Tell A Soul but five dingers in one start is not all that rare thing in baseball: three other pitchers have done it this year. Heck, Tim Wakefield once gave up six and won the game, so Let It Be. More importan...

Yeah, they just explained it right after I asked.
People keep talking about Mauer's power outage, but he's never been a power hitter other than his ridiculous 2009 season. Unrealistic expectations. He's a Wade Boggs type hitter.
Gardner flies to right, Nunez tags and scores. 1-0.
